Biden’s Meeting With King Charles Doesn’t Exactly Go As Planned
President Joe Biden visited Windsor Castle on Monday with King Charles for a brief meet-up and conversation, forcing the monarch to briefly lose his patience.
The duo appeared to be in good spirits as they walked around the grounds of the historic castle, and chatted openly about climate change.
But once Mr Biden, 80, began talking to the Welsh Guards, the King, 74, began to reiterate that they had to move on.

The President then, appeared to be determined to resist the wish for them to keep moving and was determined to stay there and keep talking.
Charles then seemed to direct his frustration towards one of the Welsh Guards, before realizing that the conversation wasn't going anywhere and simply walking away with Mr Biden.
The Commander-in-Chief, who has been accused of having an anti-British sentiment, then stepped in to curb any such claims when he visited Mr Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.
The duo, who have been in conversation over the past few months, sipped from a cup of tea, while Mr Biden proclaimed that US-British relations are 'rock solid.'
Despite this, the President is facing fury for his minimal visit to the UK.
He skipped Charles' coronation, sent his wife and granddaughter as his proxy, and ended an early June speech by saying 'God save the Queen, man'.
These draconian actions have made this one of the most 'low-key US visits in decades', according to Nile Gardiner, who was a senior aide to the late Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

"What was the point in Biden coming over?" He asked. Most Tories 'view him as an absolute disaster', who is 'deeply anti-British and incompetent.'
Indeed, the outrage is even further fueled by the fact that the US administration is now possibly backing Ursula von der Leyen as the head of the NATO, a decision which has angered the United Kingdom and its the Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.
This could be set for an even more awkward exchange if they are to proceed a day after Mr Biden seemingly snubbed Britain by pouring cold water on the idea of Ukraine joining the NATO anytime soon and by declaring that the US will supply Kyiv with cluster bombs; Weapons which the UK is against.
Mr Biden is due to depart the UK soon, leaving the country to ponder what will come of the US President's spate of ill-received decisions.
